cs1 kitchen challenge

i made these two items for my friend in arizona, we both like and enjoy all types of beans, and these were made for him. the ladle is made from red cedar, and the spoon is made from sassafras. we sometimes talk of opening a restaurant that would serve nothing but different beans and bean soups.. we would call it..CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER…for obvious reasons….each chair would have a whoopie cushion built into the seat..:)

These look great, Grizzman! I wish I could carve! I think that my ladle will be in the shape of a shoe! (Now there’s something we can do with them when we are done! – you would have to have a big foot though!)

Do you use a power carver (Dremel) or do it by hand. They really are very cool!

You are too much Bob, can’t you ever be serious? These are great carvings, I love that ladle, I tell you what, I’ll make the bowls for the bean soup. Wouldn’t that be cool. Coarse the health dept. wouldn’t let us get away with it. I don’t think you’d need the whoopie cushions under the seats, what you would need to serve are gas masks. Love ya buddy, glad to see you busy, mike

good idea mike on the bowls…we could open up a place and we would have a sign that said..IF YA DONT EAT YOUR BEANS, THATS OK….WELL GIVE EM TO MIKEY…HE EATS ANYTHING…..LOL….now that is funny…gas masks are right...Ellen that is great that you have some from previous family…those are the types of items that are cherished from family to family…i hope the ones i gave make it to a new generation…i might do a set for each of my boys….good idea…thanks…grizz

Whoa!!!!!!!!! Grizzman – Please do not follow Patrons advice, you must not serve politicians, or certain actors and actresses, way to much GAS is emitted from them naturally, let alone the tremendous volume of gas that would then be released from eating beans too. You wouldn’t dare have an open flame on your stove or ovens with people like that there, they already produce enough to power Washington DC. Remember, safety first when working with explosive material, and they are full of it. On the other hand, if you could get them all together for one big meal, and then have a suicide bomber run through the restaurant flicking a Bic, then the loss of the restaurant would be worth it, as you would be indulged with money from grateful Americans who would be so appreciative of your sacrifice, but patriotic act to rid us all of traitors. Oh, great ladle and spoon, would love to have a source of sassafras root for making natural root beer.

You could even sell an auto kit….a cushion with a hose direct into the “gas” tank. Then you could advertise meals by how many miles to the bowl….or get the “maximizer” with an extra 20 miles (has a helping of chili fries and brussell sprouts on the side). I also agree about serving politicians – they already expell way too much noxious gas as it is…..Sorry…had to throw that in.

Anyway, very nice utensils. Wood is so much better as it does not retain heat so that you burn your hands. It is easy to clean and I have never heard of an outbreak of food poisoning that was traced back to any wooden implements…..I’ve used wooden bowls, spoons and utensils all my life and never had any illness due to them.
